So what shall I ask my health fund in preparation for Orthodontics?
Treatment Costs
Your initial consultation fee will be $90 plus the cost of digital imaging (available at Mount Gravatt and Clayfield). Two digital images are made at a cost of $90 each.
We will then assess and diagnose your condition, and recommend a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and your budget.
Our quotes are all-inclusive and include a retention plan and support for up to 3 years after your active treatment is complete. So no hidden surprises! Services provided by other third parties, such as general dental work, are not included.
Also, you may be eligible for discounts at ethos if:
- You pay your treatment costs in full.
- A member of your family has also been an ethos patient.
At ethos orthodontics, we recognise that a treatment plan is as unique as a patient’s smile! For this reason, it can be tricky to estimate the cost of braces without a consultation.
There are lots of variables to consider, including treatment type, treatment length, and a patient’s age, history and requirements. The important thing to remember is that orthodontic treatment is an investment – in the smile you will wear for the rest of your life, and in your self-esteem too.
Patients who are eligible for ethos lite treatment can significantly reduce both the time and the cost of full orthodontic treatment. Find out if you have a less complex case, and whether ethos lite is right for you by making an appointment today.
We want your treatment to be as easy and convenient as possible, so flexible payment options are all part of the service. With ethos, you can get the treatment you need, the smile you want and a payment schedule that suits you.
If you decide to pay upfront you can choose to pay by cash, cheque, credit card, BPAY or Eftpos and we’ll happily discount your treatment.
If you’re looking to spread the cost, consider our flexible payment plans that offer monthly interest-free instalments via Bpoint Direct Debit. Just tell us what works best for you.
- At your consultation, you will meet with an orthodontist and treatment coordinator who will provide you with a detailed treatment plan and payment options.
- Complete your treatment paper work and outline which options best suit you
- Give us a call to book in to begin your journey to a beautiful smile
If you would like to update your payment details, contact our friendly accounts team or complete our online change of details form.
